The Northern Arizona Homebirth Meetup

What is it?

The Northern AZ Homebirth meetup is a group that was created to support and educate the families in our area about birthing at home. It is not only a social outlet for families that have experienced homebirth, but more importantly a place where expectant mamas and partners can come to ask questions when choosing and planning a homebirth.Finding other women and families that support birthing at home is crucial when planning a homebirth! Let's see how big of a support system we can create for parents choosing homebirth here in the Verde Valley!

Topics to be covered in the next few months include:

-Waterbirth-Homeopathy and Herbs in Pregnancy and Birth-Transport-Natural Choices in Pregnancy and Birth-Breastfeeding and Postpartum-Having Siblings at the Birth

How often does the group meet?

The group meets once a month on the FIRST SUNDAY of the month at 2 pm. Partners and kids are welcome. Meetings are currently being held at Maryn's home in Cornville.

When is the next meeting?

The next meeting is Sunday, March 1st at 2 pm. The topic will be "Why Choose Homebirth?".
